Thank you so much for this Akuna! Can't wait for part 2 of the article.

@linus72: Thank you for being so generous and for the assistance as well! Your e17 build doesn't look great...it looks EPIC! Congratulations! I hope my new distro turns out to be as polished as yours. Mine, however, will take some time since I'll be the only one to head up the project.

@ Gapan and linus72: Thank you both kindly! I'm enthused to begin working on my project and can only hope that it is successful.

@Gapan: Thank you very much! One last question, if you don't mind, how do I go about building up and adding Enlightenment as the DE/WM? Specifically, do I have to build this part of the new distro first using slkbuild tools?

@gapan: Thank you for the suggestion :) . However, what I have in mind might be a bit more complicated than that...I probably should have elaborated a bit more in my previous post while being more specific as well.

I am wondering if there is any documentation or any other information that would be helpful in my endeavor to create a Salix OS based distro. Salix OS is a fantastic distro and it would be awesome to use a base. Any help or guidance that can be provided is much appreciated. Thanks!

Gapan, thanks for the instructions and the reply! zAchAry, for some reason, the command-line you suggested did not work. I tried to extract the iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode from the package I downloaded from intellinuxwireless.org, and move it to /lib/firmware, but I was met with a message stating I did not ...

zAchAry,
Apparently, I need the iwlwifi-6050 driver, according to the following web link:

Hopefully, someone from the Salix team saves the day and can instruct me on what needs to be done.

zAchAry,
Here are the outputs for the two commands that you suggested I enter:

/sbin/lspci | grep Network (produced the following)

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/Wifi Link 6050 Series ...
